That’s because he’s a unicorn.
-
You have the best 20-20 hindsight of anyone I know. 😉
-
Yes, because he’s getting more than five years and he’s getting more than 225 Ms. I understand what youre trying to say, but ”highest paid” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in your post, since Gerrit Cole was guaranteed $100 million more than your offer.
-
And it's good that Boras is that kind of guy because that's what Skubal hired him for. But I don't see the Tigers making the first offer to Boras. And even if we did, I doubt we would waste our time and energy making it only 6/240.

What does Hey Man mean by "gap"? I'm paywalled out of the story. EDIT: Sorry, I just now caught up to the MLBTR story. I'm not sure how much I would trust Hey Man on this.
-
This is true in a micro sense. In a macro sense, the persistent and consistent strategy of trading prospects for established veterans comes back to haunt.
-
As much sense as this makes, the risk here is that the Tigers look desperate and take pennies on the dollar for Skubal—classic Avila move. This scenario would really test Harris's negotiation mettle.
-
Everyone knows Skubal will say no to this—same way everyone knew Correa would say no to Avila's 10/275 offer—so, don't even bother.
-
Insight of the day. Well, insight of Wednesday, anyway. But yeah, good one.
-
The known unknown here is whether Alex Verdugo would have put up closer to Mookie numbers had he stayed in LA. When it comes to production, what organization you're in, and their developmental and deployment philosophies, matter a lot.
-
You'd think the team that would go 9/214 on Prince Fielder and 8/248 on the rotting corpse of Miggy Cabrera could go 10/475 for 30-year-old already-Tommy-Johned Tarik Skubal, wouldn't you?
-
There are some pretty good guys on the market this winter. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us take a competitive run at Dylan Cease.
-
Kind of like the first three months of this season? I don’t think that’s the last time we’ll feel that about the Harris Tigers.
-
I’m excited by this team because we are building it from within rather than from without. I like that aspect of it.
-
Nice performative dive by Barger on a ball he could have pretty easily caught standing up. Can’t blame him—it gets him lots of love from media and fans who don’t quite notice it.
-
I don’t necessarily buy #3, especially if we win a pennant with him in the driver’s seat.
-
I can’t see that.
-
Max A crushed it when it came to assists and putouts per game, with only two errors in 185 innings, or about MLB average.
-
True, they had two World Series and four consecutive playoff appearances. We’d never had that before. I will also say I was never as excited for the future at any point with that team as I am with this one.
-
Maybe, but Bill Gates did not intentionally starve his business for her. Come on.
-
People don’t remember this, but Tucker got off to an all-world start this year, which really helped his final numbers. He also missed almost all of September with a calf strain, which would make me a little nervous if we signed him.
-
I’ll be on board with your cynicism once I see Harris sell off Skubal and ends up making it significantly harder to compete in 2026.
-
Good luck selling him on Detroit over Los Angeles or San Francisco or Seattle.
-
I think so, too. Wenceel is either a fourth guy for a playoff team or a starter for a second-division team. Heck, if he were to settle into a career with the Angels or the Pirates of the game, I bet he could be a multiple-time All-Star.
-
I really don’t think Flaherty is going to pick up his option. He can do better elsewhere, especially in years. Unless we give him years, which, that would make me nervous.
